APR Parent Guide Supporting Your Child When Bullied

Supporting Your Child When They Are Bullied

A$10 | Five-page downloadable PDF

Your child has told you they’re being bullied. What do they need from you after that first conversation?

They need to feel believed, know who can help at school and see that the adults are checking whether things are getting better.

I’m Tracy Tully, a former school principal. I created this APR Parent Guide to help you support your child at home, make a practical safety plan and stay involved over the days that follow.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Words to use when your child tells you what happened
• A simple plan for unsafe times and places at school
• Ways to build your child’s confidence without placing responsibility on them to stop the bullying
• Steps to take when bullying happens online
• Signs that your child may need more wellbeing support
• A seven-day action plan, a fill-in support plan and an incident note

You do not need to solve everything in one night. This guide helps you take the next step, check what is working and keep supporting your child.
